Housing and park replace parking lot in suburban Seattle. I still wander wether the sidewalks are walkable. In any case it seems like a good example of densification and reduction of car use. Hoping to see more of such developments.

Breaking the myth of the lower cost of suburban development. Worth a read. Even though it is only based in Canada, many of the observations are comparable to other European or American cases.http://thecostofsprawl.com/

About Me

I am a lecturer in architecture at Queen's University Belfast. I am interested in streets as public spaces and their significance in every day life. Streets are made of architecture. They are the space in between. We live in them. They are our public space.
